Starbucks made the most headlines this week, by increasing their profits and raising their prices, but there’s a lot more going on in the coffee world then what’s happening inside their stores.

Thanks for featuring us! Just added your site to my Reader. Looking forward to more ‘daily shots of coffee’.

Hi Mike!
I certainly noticed the price increase. My tea went up 40 cents. But, they also switched to loose leaf, at least here in California. We’ll see if they made the switch when I go back home to Kentucky. I don’t like the increase in price, but I must say that I do like the loose leaf. MUCH better taste!
